TN fan here, I’ll be rooting for yall during your final weeks as you enter your gauntlet. I would love for yall to be able to spoil some team’s year. I have noticed such a drastic improvement since your week 1, especially from a HC that most fanbases have written off as a “lame duck” year for him. Definitely respect 🫡.
Awesome man appreciate the comment. You got a great team this year. The scary part is I don't think tennessee has played a complete game yet. There going to the playoff
@@tommymack4372 I sure hope so, but I agree, we really haven’t played a complete game yet and if that doesn’t get fixed. Then I’ll won’t be upset if we don’t make it to the cfp.
@@michaelhansford3799sheeeeit, he personally lost the game against the vols instead of blowing them out as has come to be expected. The previous coaches had turned y'all into another Kentucky.
@rickyrougs ALL THR PLAYERS LOVE BILLY. THEY ARE BEHIND HIM. HE GOT LAGWAY TO COME. WITHOUT A TOP QB, WHICH VERY FEW TEAMS HAVE BUT UF NOW HAS, YOU CANT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. UF PLAYS THE HARDEST SCHEDULE IN THE COUNTRY. BRING IN A NEW COACH START ALL OVER.
@@williamgreen9865that all depends on who is hired to replace him. If they land THE guy, no one is going anywhere and recruiting will go back into the top 3 annually.
Ally, last year Florida started one of the youngest defenses in America. It didn't take 3 years to practice right because they didn't know how to do it. It took 3 years to get the right personnel. 1 bye week didn't change the entire philosophy of the defense. There was a refreshed mindset for a young team that's learning how to win.
Georgia isn't going to have a choice in the matter whether or not dj lagway throws deep balls. Lagway is going to light everybody up regardless of who we play
My thoughts exactly about what UGA and the rest of the teams are going to do defensively against DJ. Can he play the short game. Go Gators!! 🐊 Thanks Ali!
Yes!! I literally almost commented last week that you need to get these guys on. They should be designing our plays bar none!!! Napier's route concepts and play design (especially pass plays) are straight up highschool pedigree!
Go Gators. Wax the Bulldogs. And continue to March. Fly around on Defense, smash and have fun. The Offense is so deep in the skill positions. Continue to grow and know you will win. Respect your opponent by smashing them. Go 🐊
Love Mertz but he could have been a limiting factor for the offense? The behind the line passing game was driving me nuts. Things are looking interesting.
DJ Lagway throwing the ball down the field made the difference!! Mertz short passes wasn’t cutting it same as last year. Sorry he got hurt but he was dragging the team period.
Even if Napier can get to a six and six record, it is complete asinine to bring him and the coaching staff back. Scott Stricklin obviously does not care about the success of this football program and he never will all he cares about is stadium upgrades, and charging people more money on tickets. These are the darkest days in Florida football history of my lifetime.
The biggest change I’ve seen that only on the defense, but the offense is the offensive line has the right chemistry now they have put people in the game that actually can block, and that is one of the biggest positives out of all of this
The remaining of our schedule is a GAUTLET but it's not Impossible to win out with Jaden Baugh and DJ Lagway at the helm this team could play LIGHTS OUT and pull off some upsets
Napier going out the door kills this year's class. Than Lagway leaves with a bunch of others. The new coach. Late start. No time to fix it. Be lucky to win 3 games next year.
Do u think LSU is better than last year. Our defense gave up 700 yards. We are playing at home at night and DJ will have 4 starts under his belt. And our defense is playing drastically better than last year's.
James!!!!! Great to hear from you guys!!! Ali these guys are the smartest guests you have ever had!!!! Keep bringing them on. And just say no to Napier . Miami prep is all you need to know. We were lied to and he can’t coach on game day
He obviously is. But there’s plenty of mid coaches who’ve rode a generational qb to a national championship. Chizik, Jimbo, Dabo, Orgeron come to mind.
The defense is generally not the issue; great talent and good coaches. It's the offense. Some HCs can also call plays and kinda be the co-coordinator, but Napier is not one of them. If he doesn't understand that, FL won't win. Also, Napier seems to be disorganized and often confused.
Is it reasonable to think that Napier is learning on the fly? That he IS improving over time? And that he is learning or can learn that he has to stop being so stubborn? I don't think he's the long term answer, but I would love him to get one more year--it would be better for the program long term. I think beating Ole Miss or LSU could help with recruiting and keep guys from hitting portal. Right now--and only right now--we can create a narrative that Billy is on schedule to rebuild "the culture," is also improving as a coach, learning from his mistakes, and UF is a great environment to play college football. If--again, IF--we play the next four opponents competitively AND win a game we're not supposed to, AND beat FSU, i think recruiting will improve, and more guys will stay. For as bitter as I was after A&M, I'm remain hopeful that we are not as far off as it feels sometimes.
What UK game shows me is that if we excute whatbis called we can scire alot of points even with BN so called horrible play calling. Same plays un TN game as UK. Only difference was execution.
I am not a Gators fan so I think I can be fairly objective! My take is CBN is an average coach at best and average is not going to cut it in the SEC. He has made to many mistakes in his decision making during the games! With the talent level being more equal now in my opinion it comes down to who developed their roster getting a good game plan ready and game day coaching and CBN definitely falls short of at least 2 out of 3 of these! Gator Nation may disagree with my take but that's ok this is just my honest opinion! GBO 🍊
The whole "coaching is the only reason " we lost to Tennessee is such an ignorant pov and pisses me off. Coaching is the reason we nearly won. Execution and plays by the other team is the primary reason we didn't win a game that absolutely nobody picked for us to win and we still nearly did. Move ON!
You could make the case that defensive coaching kept them in it and some player miscues lost them the game. However, Billy’s clock management and playcalling held this team back from putting this game away in this first half!
Florida played two VERY good teams at the beginning of the season and yes, the players were not ready to execute at that level. The second half of A&M was much better. Is the defense 'gelling' at this time of the season? (execution) Were there big changes? no. The defensive players are reacting quicker. We will see against GA. No question DJ is exceptional. Hopefully against GA and TX he will be able to read the right options. Can Florida match up against these two? We shall see, but I don't think that will end all this hate for Coach Napier. Florida fans have always had expectations WAY beyond reality. Napier has not been given a fair shake after only his third season. His manner of coaching takes time to build the team he wants. Gator fans want instant gratification. Sad, but it is the culture at Florida. Give me a break! I HATE Lane Griffin after his disrespect to Coach Urban Meyer. No character, never pick that creep. EVER.
If Napier beats Ole Miss, LSU or TEX & FSU , NOTHING LESS..... Then give him another year. Now 7 wins should be the ULTIMATUM after the 2 game CLOWN SHOW EARLIER & THE CITRUS TEAM EMBARRASSMENT!! Every year Napier GIVES AWAY 3 TO 4 GAMES PERIOD.
If Lagway's talent overcomes Napier's horrible inabilities. We win due to DJ, Napier keeps his job and later gets an extension, We are then saddled with a terrible long-term future ala Norvell. He must go this season.
I don’t understand why people say the coaching staff lost the game at Tennessee? I don’t agree, turnovers cost us the game. I never saw a coach fumble the ball on the 1 yard line. Or throw an interception? I’m not sure at this point if Napier could ever please some of these fans. They have already given up on him, but his players haven’t!
I can’t understand why we think we’re supposed to know who’s calling the plays. Not really our business to be honest 💯 I don’t give a you know what who’s calling the plays. Just play hard, give maximum effort and I’m good!! Go 🐊🐊
I swear, there are ten year olds in the stands that could do better play calling than Napier. It's beyond me how a guy that must know he's gonna lose, doesn't just go for it, let the team play, and have more than 8 offensive plays. On the other side, at least in the Kentucky game, it looked like our D was willing to tackle. . . oh it's great to be a Florida Gator. . . Good show Ali.
You guys arent in practice. Those who are say lagway throwing pics left and right. BN did exactly what he needed to do with the qbs. Arm chair coaching at its finest. Nobody is thinking that UF has arrived.
Haha dj isn't the answer mertz is a all around better qb dj was 50 percent in his game 7 of 14 he won't make them long passes against a team like georgia napier is the problem
